Took some close-ups but they do not serve justice to what the dial looks like in the metal.

The octagon mid case provides lineage to RO but the dial demonstrates it is a different watch. To me, AP’s investment in Code is finally paying off. Apparently the wait list is getting long for them.

The concentric dial is lovely to look at. The green color is beautiful. I would have taken the blue dial but the fact that I did not have a green pushed me over the edge and I am happy with my decision.

Possible improvements: less track marks on the outside of the rim, different color strap to make the dial pop, and a 39mm for my small wrist.

What are your thoughts ?

Key Points from the Discussion

The Code 11.59 case design is exceptional, providing a superb foundation for the collection.
The dial's concentric pattern creates an 'infinity' style, which is a significant aesthetic draw, and the green color choice is distinct from prevailing trends.
The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 demonstrates haute horology, capable of outshining many peer watches when viewed side-by-side.
The depth of the Code 11.59 dial is a particularly appealing feature.
GLau chose the green dial over the blue primarily to diversify his collection, as he did not previously own a green timepiece.

A 37mm version would be perfect

haute horology for sure. Will easily put many peer watches to shame side by side. Congratulations 👏

A good choice. The dial has an 'infinity' style to it which I like a lot. I also agree that the green is sufficiently different without following the 2022 green hype! Bravo. Look forward to seeing it on your wrist. Coincidentally I was staying last night at the Hotel des Horolgers in Le Brassus!

And the CODE case, well, I have praised that since day 1 of the collection. It is superb. You sure deserve it, my Friend. I have been so appreciative of your many boutique visit posts that share the pieces with us. I seldom have that opportunity but enjoy the vicarious living!!
